Captivating medical history, strong women, a stirring love story.

Berlin, 1858: Sophie, a maid, is dismissed. The family’s son had made advances, but Sophie is given the blame. Nobody wants to hire her, so Sophie has no choice but to do as her childhood friend Bertha does and earn her money on the streets. When Bertha contracts one of the sexual diseases that are rife, Sophie accompanies her to the Charité hospital. The two women are forced to take part in a gruesome experiment. Without their consent, the two women are infected with the syphilis pathogen. When Bertha gets very ill and is treated in the Charité, Sophie cares for her selflessly. The senior nurse notices this, and Sophie is given the opportunity to start work in the hospital as a carer. During the Prussian-Austrian war, she proves herself as a field hospital nurse. But the constant fear remains that she might develop this deadly disease, too – will she ever be able to fall in love without fear and lead a normal life?
